[Feature Request] Add optional display name field for non-ASCII agent titles
Open 💬 0 comments Opened Jul 2, 2026 by dulltz
Bug Description
Feature request: Allow a localized/display name for subagents.
Currently the name field in .claude/agents/*.md must be kebab-case ASCII (lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens), and it's what shows up as
the agent's title in the UI (agent list, /agents). The description field accepts Japanese and other non-ASCII text fine, but the title itself cannot be localized.
Please consider adding an optional display-name field (e.g. title or displayName) that can contain non-ASCII text such as Japanese, while keeping name as the ASCII identifier used for @-mentions and internal references. This would let non-English teams show readable agent titles without breaking the identifier constraints.
